The Welsh Government’s Location Strategy

This report examines whether the Location Strategy Programme has delivered its objectives in a way that provides value for money.

We concluded that the Welsh Government has delivered the objectives of the Location Strategy, but the overall value for money of the Programme is uncertain. This is because, although the Welsh Government delivered the new office buildings to the expected quality and within contracted costs, limited consideration was given to alternative accommodation options, robust estimates of programme costs were lacking, and realisation of all the Programme’s continuing benefits is no longer being monitored.
